Thoughtful Wealth Management. Deliberate Advice. A Lasting Partnership.

Founded more than two decades ago, Fulcrum Financial Group is a Spokane-based Wealth Management firm built around a simple belief: Financial Advice should be as individual as the people it serves.

We look beyond traditional wealth management to understand the decisions, opportunities, and complexities that shape your financial life. 

Our role is not simply to manage investments, but to bring perspective to your wealth, solve meaningful financial challenges, and help you make thoughtful decisions with confidence—so your resources can support the life you want to live.

Over the years, our team has grown into a close-knit group of experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate professionals, bringing more than five decades of collective experience to our work. We collaborate closely, combining diverse perspectives and expertise to address the full scope of your financial needs.

Above all, we believe great advice begins with understanding. 

We take the time to know you, your family, your business and what matters most to you.  From there, we build a thoughtful strategy designed not only to preserve and grow your wealth, but to give you greater confidence, direction, and freedom in the decisions ahead.

At Fulcrum Financial Group, Wealth Management is more than managing money. It is about thoughtfully aligning your wealth with the life you intend to live.

Travis Messinger, CFP®, CEPA®, is a leader at Fulcrum Financial Group, where he helps individuals, families, and business owners bring clarity and structure to their financial lives. His work centers on comprehensive financial planning, retirement strategy, and exit planning—translating complex decisions into clear, actionable direction aligned with each client’s goals.

Raised in Eastern Washington, Travis earned a degree in Economics with an emphasis in Financial Markets from Washington State University. His interest in financial planning developed from a growing recognition of how disciplined financial decisions can meaningfully shape a family’s future.

After marrying his high school sweetheart, Michelle, Travis and his wife prioritized becoming debt-free. That experience reinforced his analytical approach and disciplined mindset. Recognizing his strengths, Michelle encouraged him to transition from traditional banking into financial planning—a decision that ultimately defined his career path.

Travis joined Fulcrum Financial Group in September 2016 as an Investment Advisor Representative with LPL Financial and now helps lead the firm. He holds the Series 7 and Series 66 securities registrations through LPL Financial, along with life and health insurance licenses. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and Certified Exit Planning Advisor™.

He approaches financial planning as deeply personal work—focused not only on strategy, but on purpose. Each plan is designed to reflect what matters most to clients, whether preparing for retirement, navigating a transition, growing a business, or building a legacy.

Travis and Michelle live on their country property in the Palouse, where they are raising their daughter and son. Family and community remain central to his perspective and his work.

He is grateful for the opportunity to serve clients and help them pursue the financial future they envision for themselves and those they care about.
